Songwriter: David Paich

Producer: Toto

[Refrain]
Why don't we make believe we're in love again?
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine?
Where do people go
When they're lookin' for that one of a kind?

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry?
Why must we hold it all inside?
Where do lovers go when they're runnin'
And there's no place to hide?

[Chorus 1]
(Always rememberin') The day we met in the pouring rain
(No more pretendin') We went our separate ways
No matter which way the wind blows now
Hang on to it anyhow
Don't ever say it could never be the same

[Refrain]
Why don't we make believe we're in love again?
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine?
Where do people go
When they're lookin' for that one of a kind?

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry?
Why must we hold it all inside?
Where do lovers go when they're runnin'
And there's no place to hide?

[Chorus 2]
(Always rememberin') Holding hands on a summer day
(No more pretendin') You took it all away
I didn't come here to change your mind
Lead you on or waste your time
All alone in the evening, gettin' blue

[Bridge]
Why don't we make believe?

[Refrain]
Why don't we make believe we're in love again?
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine?
Where do people go
When they're lookin' for that one of a kind?

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry?
Why must we hold it all inside?
Where do lovers go when they're runnin'
And there's no place to hide?

[Outro]
Why don't we make believe?
Why don't we make believe?

Toto

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
